Adipose tissue (AT) inflammation is linked to the pathogenesis of diabetes in obesity. Here, we compare the AT inflammatory state of 2 animal models of obesity and obesity plus diabetes, respectively. Obese nondiabetic ZF rats exhibited a trend towards increased proportions of CD11b positive cells in the adipose tissue stroma vascular fraction suggesting a state of increased AT inflammation compared to their lean littermates, but no alterations in systemic inflammatory parameters. In contrast, obese diabetic ZDF rats exhibited systemic as well as local AT inflammation with elevated levels of circulating Regulated upon Activation, Normal T-cell Expressed and Secreted Protein (Rantes), interleukin 1β (IL-1β) and monocyte chemotactic protein 1 (MCP-1), and an increased infiltration of adipose tissue CD11b positive cells. Our data provide a novel phenotypic characterisation of 2 common metabolic animal models and suggest an association of obesity with local inflammation in adipose tissue, and an association of diabetes with local inflammation in adipose tissue plus systemic inflammation. AT inflammation in obesity might therefore initiate a process that above a certain limits finally results in systemic inflammation and diabetes.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D008297 Male Males
D009765 Obesity A status with BODY WEIGHT that is grossly above the recommended standards, usually due to accumulation of excess FATS in the body. The standards may vary with age, sex, genetic or cultural background. In the BODY MASS INDEX, a BMI greater than 30.0 kg/m2 is considered obese, and a BMI greater than 40.0 kg/m2 is considered morbidly obese (MORBID OBESITY).
D011924 Rats, Zucker Two populations of Zucker rats have been cited in research--the "fatty" or obese and the lean. The "fatty" rat (Rattus norvegicus) appeared as a spontaneous mutant. The obese condition appears to be due to a single recessive gene. Zucker Rat,Zucker Rats,Rat, Zucker

D003924 Diabetes Mellitus, Type 2 A subclass of DIABETES MELLITUS that is not INSULIN-responsive or dependent (NIDDM). It is characterized initially by INSULIN RESISTANCE and HYPERINSULINEMIA; and eventually by GLUCOSE INTOLERANCE; HYPERGLYCEMIA; and overt diabetes. Type II diabetes mellitus is no longer considered a disease exclusively found in adults. Patients seldom develop KETOSIS but often exhibit OBESITY.

D000273 Adipose Tissue Specialized connective tissue composed of fat cells (ADIPOCYTES). It is the site of stored FATS, usually in the form of TRIGLYCERIDES. In mammals, there are two types of adipose tissue, the WHITE FAT and the BROWN FAT. Their relative distributions vary in different species with most adipose tissue being white.

D000818 Animals Unicellular or multicellular, heterotrophic organisms, that have sensation and the power of voluntary movement. Under the older five kingdom paradigm, Animalia was one of the kingdoms. Under the modern three domain model, Animalia represents one of the many groups in the domain EUKARYOTA.

D016207 Cytokines Non-antibody proteins secreted by inflammatory leukocytes and some non-leukocytic cells, that act as intercellular mediators. They differ from classical hormones in that they are produced by a number of tissue or cell types rather than by specialized glands. They generally act locally in a paracrine or autocrine rather than endocrine manner. Cytokine
